Ogre Fun

Icon:

One sluggish afternoon young Gronny decides to scare up some fun for his ogre friends and family. Instead, he catches a contagious case of yawns from a deceptively safe-looking creature in a playground, and he brings them back to the ogre homestead, where no one has ever seen a yawn before. The yawns spread like crazy and inspire ogre hysterics.

Miss Malarkey Doesn't Live in Room 10

Icon:

I know my teacher, Miss Malarkey, lives in our classroom, Room 10. She's there all the time. In fact, all the teachers live at school. They eat dinner in the cafeteria and sleep in the teachers' lounge. I'm sure of it!

So why is Miss Malarkey moving into my apartment house?...

What could be more surprising than finding out your teacher has a life outside school? In Miss Malarkey Doesn't Live in Room 10, Judy Finchler and Kevin O'Malley celebrate kids' comic misunderstandings about the private lives of teachers.

Let's Do Nothing!

Icon:

Frankie and Sal have already played every sport and board game invented, baked and eaten batches of cookies, and painted a zillion pictures. What's left to do? Nothing! Ten seconds of nothing! Can they do it? Can they act like stone statues in the park? Can they simply hold their breath and not blink an eye? With a wink to the reader and a command of visual humor, feature film animator Tony Fucile demonstrates the Zen-like art of doing nothing...oops! Couldn't do it!
